The current code (both yours and the default) already shows the
file as modified if the properties have changed. It probably
wouldn't be very useful to display separate statuses for data and
properties. If the user sees the modification flag and doesn't
know why it's there, C-x v = will explain it.

I don't think svn status -u should be run automatically, because
it accesses the network.

The default implementation already shows whether the working
copy has been modified: it returns things like "SVN-115" for
unmodified and "SVN:115" for modified files. This behavior is
documented at (emacs) VC Mode Line; please reinstate it.

I don't have an opinion on whether to display "SVN:A" or "SVN:0".

Wacky idea: Put help-echo properties in the string!
Something like:

  (setq vc-mode #(" SVN-115"
                  1 4 (help-echo "Subversion")
                  4 5 (help-echo "Working copy is unmodified")
                  5 8 (help-echo "Revision 115")))

One could put a mouse menu there as well, but I don't know what
that should contain.
